Because they know that if it were them pitching tents in the financial district, protesting, making a mess and crapping on cop cars, they’d get beat, that’s why.
One reason blacks might be missing is that, unlike the young college kids who have the time to hang out at these protests and don’t have dependents who need their income to put food on the table, working blacks may be more likely to work at jobs that don’t allow for large amounts of time off or must work as many hours as possible to make enough money to meet their obligations.
I also agree that blacks know that if it’s between them and the police, one of them might get killed, not just wind up in jail calling mommy for bail money.
As to other comments here regarding blacks - I find FR becoming more and more racist all the time. I am black and you’d have a hard time finding a more ardent supporter of Sarah Palin. Many of my male relatives have served in the military. We don’t dance at the churches I’ve attended, but if we did, so what? We do sing hymns, or is that not allowed?
How sad that some here hold such negative views, and on Christmas Day, too.
